My name is Cierra, and I’m excited to be joining the writers’ team this semester. I’m currently a first-year transfer student at San José State University, majoring in Journalism. Writing has always been a big part of who I am, and being able to continue developing my skills while contributing to a community-driven platform feels like the perfect opportunity to grow both as a student and as a writer. I transferred to SJSU from Las Positas Community College, where I started my journey and discovered my love for journalism. What draws me most to this field is the chance to interview unique people, discover San Jose, and share stories that matter—whether that means spotlighting unique student experiences, covering events, or diving into bigger issues that affect our community. I’ve always believed that writing is more than just words on a page; it’s a way to connect people, spark conversations, and inspire change. Outside of academics, I enjoy exploring new places, staying fit, and connecting with people who have different perspectives. I’m really looking forward to building my voice as a writer and contributing to stories that highlight the diverse experiences at SJSU.
